The senior hurlers and footballers of Cork have unanimously rejected the recent document drawn up by Labour Relations Commission chief executive Kieran Mulvey and the GAA Director-General Paraic Duffy to settle their strike.

Following a two-hour meeting tonight the players said they felt so strongly about the issues at stake that they are prepared to walk away from their inter-county playing careers.

The players appealed again to Cork football manager Teddy Holland and his selectors to stand down. 

Earlier this afternoon, around 1,000 people attended a march in support of the players through the streets of Cork.

The march was attended by Cork senior footballer Noel O'Leary and by senior hurler John Gardiner.
